AIA Archaeology Hour with Jeff Altschul

Join the AIA for a fascinating lecture as Jeff Altschul presents Cultural Resource Management: What Most Archaeologists Do For A Living.
This presentation was originally given 1/24/24 at 8 pm Eastern time.
Today, there are about 12,000 archaeologists working in the US with less than 10 percent of them employed by universities. While university anthropology and archaeology departments are shrinking, the applied sector, known as cultural resource management (CRM) is growing. What accounts for these opposing trends and what, if anything, can we do about it.

Just started my undergrad this year, I have wanted to pursue this degree for a very long time but programs are very hard to find. This is such an amazing presentation! I will be joining AIA asap! Thank you so much for all of this incredible information.

Internships are an excellent idea. Mentorship is a great idea too. How about apprenticeships to provide both too?

A shame that Jeff focussed on the USA, rather than providing a global perspective.
